They remind me of the child who is uncontrollably crying and just screams "no" at whatever their parents try to console them with. All they can talk about is obstruction and repeal. Its mind blowing. If they really want to do something then they should try to think of constructive, conservatively-oriented ways to work within the framework of the law. Just the the child at the restaurant, sooner or later everyone is gong to get fed up.

I agree. People - pundits and politicians especially - have a tendency to shut out whatever doesn't fit their narratives. But you can't live like that. You definitely can't compromise with that kind of negative attitude. You have to go where the data take you, even if it challenges the foundations of your education and experience. Being unwilling to venture outside your comfort zone makes a person unfit for a position of leadership.
